The A, ADR, B, H, J, L, N, NET, OTOBB, and STAQ of Trading Chinese Shares

One of the many complications of investing in Chinese equities is deciphering where they can be traded at the lowest cost. Not all shares have the same rights and prices. Early in the book, Jim Rogers spells all of that out for you.

In the same light style that made Investment Biker and Adventure Capitalist entertaining books, Jim Rogers tells you how China became a capitalist country again and is progressing towards becoming a greener, more innovative source of competition. Economic sector by economic sector, he describes where China was, is today, and seems to be headed. At the end of each sector, he lists the companies (and where the trade -- including the ticker symbol) while summarizing what they do and their three-year change in revenues and profits. It's a dazzling overview that you couldn't hope to match by reading a hundred magazine articles.

This book is an excellent complement to Hot Commodities where Mr. Rogers explained beautifully the commodities boom that has enriched so many who have paid attention.

I have two concerns about this book:

1. Why bring this out when Chinese stock multiples are up in the stratosphere after climbing almost 100 percent in 2007?

2. Although he strongly advises buying on dips, what's a dip for a stock that's trading at 75 times next year's projected earnings? There's no advice on this point.

Mr. Rogers is certainly very bullish on China, and he doesn't see much that could go wrong for very long. Hmmm. That story seems familiar. I usually hear it just before a market pops. Is this book a sell signal for China? He points out that you can still play China indirectly through commodities. That is certainly the safer play. Why then invest in China? It's certainly a situation I cannot monitor personally very well. And I have no idea how accurate those financial reports are. I think the book could have used a few more caveats.

Read and learn. But keep thinking before you do anything now.

I got a wealth of knowledge reading this book.Back from the Bardo: Three Short Stories by James Cage

Excellent roadmap for individual investors interested in China

Kudos to Jim Rogers for writing this book, which serves as an outstanding window into the truly avant-garde capitalist markets of China. This book will be useful to American investors in three ways:

1) It reveals the nature of publically traded Chinese companies that you never heard of--which may have no analogous forms in America for you to relate to, but which could lead to massive fortunes in the future. For example, who has heard of Jiangsu Expressway, Co., Zhejiang Expressway, Co., or Anhui Expressway, Co.? In China, the major expressways that collect tolls are publically traded! Could you imagine being an early investor in the New Jersey Turnpike? or the George Washington Bridge? or the Lincoln Tunnel?--NOT POSSIBLE IN AMERICA. These are dream companies, with near monopoly status and pricing power. And with car ownership exploding in China, these companies are surely worth investigating further.

2) The book reveals where hundreds of Chinese companies trade, and the underlying logic behind the different share classes. The differing share classes of Chinese companies was very confusing to me in the past. Now, having read this book, I feel much more confident spending my hard earned money buying these shares on various markets.

3) The book is written in a "top down" economics fashion. In a very logical progression, Jim Rogers describes various sectors of the Chinese economy likely to benefit from continued capitalist expansion (e.g. tourism, agriculture, defense)--and then lists companies in these sectors that should be fodder for additional research. Hence, the book is an excellent guide for further investigations into a capitalist system that would otherwise be too large and daunting to research easily.

GREAT JOB!

Riding the golden bull???

Jim has done it again! I cannot put this book down. This is the best book on China investing!

I am writing down the stock symbols that can be bought at NYSE, NASDAQ, OTC, and will do research on all of them. The other choice is to buy China mutual fund. That is what I did and got 80% return in 2007! For 2008, god knows.

All the websites at the back of the book are also worth investigating. Thank you Jim for providing an insightful guide for making $$$ in China. I will recommend this book for all my students in International Management studies.
